feeding behavior

When I got my corn (pet store) they told me that to feed it they had been putting it in a small enclosure with the F/T prey, covering it with a towel for privacy, and coming back later to find it gone. I started feeding using this technique, but curiosity got the better of me, so around the third feeding I'm peeking under the towel. Last night I fed her 2 pinkies, and she was eating the first one before I managed to drop the second one in the cage, so I just sat there and watched the show. I've seen snakes feed before, but it was pretty cool to watch my own doing it.

Now I'm wondering if I can get her to constrict her prey. Does this happen often with corns teating F/T?

By the way, thanks to advice from thisa forum, she's gone from 1 pinky a week (underfeeding) to 2 pinkies enthusiastically every 6 days. I'm moving her to fuzzies next feeding.
